Why Mobile Application Penetration Testing Services are Important
Mobile applications face unique security challenges, from insecure data storage to vulnerabilities in APIs and network communications. Penetration testing for mobile applications is essential to uncovering hidden flaws that could expose your users and your business to risks. Mobile app pentesting services help ensure your app is resilient against the latest attack methods and security threats.
What to Expect from our Mobile App Pentesting Services
At Iterasec, our mobile app pentesting services cover a wide range of mobile platforms and frameworks, ensuring your app is secure regardless of the technology used. We tailor each mobile app pentest to the specific environment and technology your app is built on, ensuring comprehensive protection against platform-specific risks. We conduct thorough penetration testing on:
iOS and Android Apps
Our team is experienced in testing both iOS and Android applications, identifying platform-specific vulnerabilities that can expose your app to threats like data leakage, insecure storage, and improper permissions management.
Cross-Platform Frameworks
We work with cross-platform development frameworks such as Flutter, React Native, Xamarin, and more. These frameworks introduce unique security challenges, such as improper API usage or inconsistencies in secure coding practices, which our tests are designed to detect and mitigate.
Hybrid and Native Apps
Whether your app is hybrid (using web technologies within a mobile shell) or fully native, we adapt our testing methodologies to ensure that all layers of your app, from the user interface to the backend, are thoroughly examined for vulnerabilities.
What Our Mobile App Pen Test Can Detect? Common Vulnerabilities in Mobile Apps
We tailor each penetration test to your app’s environment, ensuring comprehensive protection from mobile-specific threats. Our mobile app pen test identifies and assesses a variety of vulnerabilities, including:
Data Leakage
Sensitive data like user credentials or personal information can be exposed through insecure storage or unencrypted communication, leading to breaches and compromised user privacy.
Improper Session Handling
Weak session management, such as insecure tokens or lack of proper expiration, can allow attackers to hijack sessions, gaining unauthorized access to user accounts or data.
Code Tampering and Reverse Engineering
Attackers can reverse-engineer mobile apps to find vulnerabilities or tamper with code, potentially introducing malware or bypassing security controls.
API Security Issues
Insecure APIs can lead to unauthorized access or data leaks. Vulnerabilities like inadequate authentication or excessive permissions make APIs a key target for attacks.
Misuse of App Permissions
Apps often request unnecessary permissions, which can be exploited by attackers to access device data or functions, compromising user privacy and security.
Insecure Data Storage
Mobile apps often store sensitive data on the device. If data is stored without encryption or in insecure locations (like public directories), attackers can easily access it.
Weak Authentication
Unreliable authentication mechanisms, such as poor password policies or the absence of multi-factor authentication, can allow attackers to bypass login screens and gain unauthorized access.
Outdated Cryptography
Using weak cryptographic algorithms to secure data can make it easier for attackers to decrypt sensitive information, compromising user data.
Unprotected App Updates
If mobile apps fail to validate updates or downloads securely, attackers can push malicious updates to users, leading to device compromise.
Jailbreaking/Rooting Detection Bypass
Many mobile apps fail to properly detect if a device has been jailbroken (iOS) or rooted (Android), which increases the risk of privilege escalation or app tampering.
Network-based Attacks
Mobile apps that don’t secure network traffic via encryption can expose data to man-in-the-middle attacks, allowing attackers to intercept sensitive information.
Unsecured Data Transmission
Lack of encryption in network communications, exposing user data during transmission.

Optimal approach to secure your business with professional Mobile Application Penetration Testing Services
Depending on the testing scope and input/data provided, mobile app pentesting services can be done in black, white or gray box mode.
Black box pentest
The client provides no or minimum input, such as IP address or company/domain name. While it simulates real-world scenarios, commercial pentests are still quite limited with the time-box.
Suitable for:
- attack simulation
- red teaming
Gray box pentest
The client provides information about the system, such as test credentials or even documentation. No source code is provided. In most of the cases, this is the most optimal type.
Suitable for:
- most of the pentests
White box pentest
Full information is provided, including source code, system documentation, etc. The big benefit is that due to code access, pentesters can reveal security issues from the inside.
Suitable for:
- product or application-level pentests
- codebase security review
Discover All Steps How Iterasec cloud security testing services work
During our audit, we rely on the NIST, OWASP, OSSTM, CIS Benchmark, and other methodologies. While employing some automated scanning tools, we also perform manual expert security testing: such an approach proves to be the most practically valuable.
We keep clients informed in the course of the project, providing regular status updates and immediate notifications for critical findings.
Discover all the steps in our cloud security services process:
- 1A kick-off meeting to agree on the scope, inputs and communication
- 2Cloud pentest (2-5 weeks, depending on the scope)
- 3The final report that highlights the identified cloud security issues
